Dear Colleagues,

A conference on Dynamical Systems will be held at the Institut Henri
Poincaré in Paris from 23 to 27 November 2009, Thanksgiving Week. 

Conference registration can be made at http://ak-ihp.eventbrite.com,

This conference will celebrate Anatole Katok's 65th birthday. The
conference will cover the main areas of Katok's scientific interests, with
particular emphasis on his vision of dynamical systems in its fundamental
unity as well as his impact on recent developments in a number of
subfields. There will be a number of invited talks on recent advances in
dynamics including:

-abstract ergodic theory and spectral theory of dynamical systems
-stability and randomness in differentiable conservative dynamics:
 KAM theory, Aubry-Mather theory, Liouvillean dynamics
-hyperbolicity, partial hyperbolicity, nonuniform hyperbolicity, cocycles
 and Lyapunov exponents
-rigidity of higher rank actions, flows on homogeneous spaces and
 applications to Diophantine problems
-billiards, rational billiards, translation surfaces and Teichmüller flow

THERE WILL BE A BANQUET on November 24th at the 0'40 Restaurant of the
Concorde Montparnasse Hotel:

The banquet cost will be 20 euros per person. 
BANQUET REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED BY OCTOBER 15 
and can be made by sending an email to Progress in Dynamics 2009

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1100 mathematicians worldwide.

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference anouncement will also begin with that statement.  In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct! Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list.
